late manager Of the LaBello Glass Works,
and MIR. 8. O. Dunlevy, late travelling
salesman for the game CONCERN, would
arrange for the formation of company to
run the Union glass house, in Martins
Ferry, on line of ware similar to that
Of the Dith,tdge Company. 10 without the
slightest foundation. Mr.. Norshwood and
MIR. Dunlevy, in conv .rsatiou with an In.
KLLlaENcRR reporter yesterday, e1 pressed
themselves ae being wholly unaware of
any such proceedings, and say thsy never
mentioned the subject, and never talked
with capitalists concerning the formation
Of a company for any ouch purpose.
The reports sconcerning the conference Of
glass manufacturers and workmen In the
Pittsburgh papers arc not exactly correct,
There is nothing in the agreement about
the fifty days spoken OF, but when the
conference began, the workmsn agreed in
case offs disagreement to give thirty DAYS
notice. That disagreement took place
Thursday and it will be ct leaat four weeks
from next Saturday before any general
strike is declared. From present indica.
tions 1t would seem as II there was going
to be aprotracted lockout,as neither psrty
seems willing to abste from their position
on the gathering boys wages, the sole
question of dispute now. Tho strike does
not affect the Wheeling iacsories at sill,
